Language Server

[Namek]

"Jump to Definition" feature in IDEs would look the language as more mature to the general audience.

What is the state of https://github.com/mint-lang/mint/tree/language-server/src/lsp ?

Can I help you with that?

The language-server branch is a little behind master but I think it can be brought up to date without much problems.

The current state is:

• the basic protocol works, a client can connect to the server
• resolving a workspace based on a single source file works (this was a major milestone, resolving by searching for the closest mint.json file)
• textDocument/completion works in some cases
• textDocument/hover returns some type signatures in some cases
• started working on textDocument/didChange but could not get it to work yet
• the other features are not implemented

There was a discussion of it on Spectrum ➡️ https://spectrum.chat/mint-lang/development/language-server-support~227be091-fb65-40fb-ab60-952be791b28d

If you would like to help, I can bring the branch up to date just let me know.

Thanks for the amswer.

I'm a bit overloaded currently, I did not predict this, sorry. But I'd like to explore this at some point, yes. I'll let you know then.

I'm locking this because in favour of #270.
